Schiit $2,299 Yggdrasil DAC; $1,699 Ragnarok Amplifier Review
September 8, 2016 Comments Off on Schiit $2,299 Yggdrasil DAC; $1,699 Ragnarok Amplifier Review
“Now for the most important part, the sound. The Yggdrasil’s tonality is quite outstanding. It takes the basic characteristics of the Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) and adds a finer layer of resolution, richer visceral bass and extends the treble. Contrary to many other DACs in this category which sound overly-analytical and shrill in nature, the Yggdrasil tastefully infuses detail with a natural organic-like quality that is evocative of vinyl. However, unlike a vinyl set-up, the Yggdrasil offers greater levels of detail and resolution that masterfully portray subtle auditory cues and nuances to give a complete and more involving experience. Next to the Yggdrasil, the Gungnir Multibit illuminates a lesser fraction of these micro-details at the expense of a warmer and more liquidesque tone. ”

OPTOMA NUFORCE BE6I BLUETOOTH EARPHONES REVIEW
September 8, 2016 Comments Off on OPTOMA NUFORCE BE6I BLUETOOTH EARPHONES REVIEW
“In terms of sound quality, I was also pleased with what I got from the BE6i. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting to hear from these Bluetooth earbuds, but I was prepared for static, intermittent connection, audible compression artifacts and the like. I certainly wasn’t expecting clean, uncompromised musical reproduction”
PSB SubSeries 450 Subwoofer Reviewed
September 8, 2016 Comments Off on PSB SubSeries 450 Subwoofer Reviewed
“The SubSeries 450 is impressively powerful for its size, but it can’t deliver the ultra-deep, floor-shaking bass that many larger subs can. During the U-571 scenes I played, there’s a part where the submarine passes under a destroyer. The sub’s engine sounds in this scene are extremely low-pitched and tend to make subwoofers distort and/or make their ports chuff or their passive radiators rattle. The SubSeries 450 exhibited no such distress, but neither did it shake the floor. I could hear the vibrations from the sub’s engine, but I couldn’t really feel them.”
How Much Power Do You Really Need?
September 7, 2016 Comments Off on How Much Power Do You Really Need?
” Let me underscore that speaker sensitivity has nothing whatsoever to do with speaker quality, sonic or otherwise; it’s a simple quantification of how-loud-per-watt. But if you’re torn between two similar-price speaker models you love equally, choose the higher-sensitivity one. One caveat, and it’s a biggie: due to measurement techniques, environments, and plain old manufacturer mendacity, spec-sheet sensitivity ratings can be extraordinarily variable, so take claimed differences with a double shake of salt. You can check the Test Bench box in our speaker reviews for a statement of each loudspeaker model’s sensitivity that is consistently derived, and easy to compare, across all products.

SHANLING M5 DAP $499 REVIEW
September 7, 2016 Comments Off on SHANLING M5 DAP $499 REVIEW
“THe M5 outperforms the M3’s treble presentation in so many ways. Whilst not being the last word in natural decay, the M5 lower treble is far less sibilant and peaky with a much smoother and less uneven treble presentation. I always though the M3 could get a touch too peaky, but the M5 seems to have a more refined approach with excellent detail and articulation. It is not as smooth sounding or warm as the Alien, it does have a sharper edge to its attack but it easily outperforms the even sharper sounding Cayin N5 and the flatter sounding Opus#1 and definitely more spacious sounding than the old M3.”
